Em toda minha vida, eu nunca encontrei-me com um ventilador de Roger Federer. Talvez um ventilador da maneira de Roger Federer de jogar o tênis, mas nunca um ventilador de Roger Federer como um homem. É justo…. daft, eu suponho.

Update! This is the video.
Most people today don’t have a very long attention span. If you’re like me, you won’t think twice about zapping forward to the next tv station if you don’t see anything good for two seconds.

It’s not often that I see a web based advertisement that’s actually web based. What I mean by that, is that most advertorial sites are still thought up in a very traditional way: Some text, a bunch of pictures and - if we’re lucky - very Web 2.0-ish kinds of things like a flash movie [...]

Bonhams Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers in New York recently put a 130 million years old prehistoric dinosaur dung under the hammer. The dung was identified by the auction house as Jurassic era coprolite, a rather euphemistic term for “shit”. It looks like a normal rock on the outside and a colorful mineral inside, [...]

An Icelandic telecommunications company has raised a few eyebrows. They made an advertisement using the biblical story of the Last Supper. Jesus calls Judas with the Síminn 3G Mobile phone, which supports video calling. This results in a hilarious ending of the commercial. I might have said it before, and probably will say it again, [...]
